Every year when I was a kid, after the morning ritual of Christmas presents, I would watch the same bad movie on one of the UHF independent channels. The rest of the TV was full of crap like the all-day christmas carol marathon on PBS or some Jesus movie or a parade, etc, but I always had to watch..
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians!
It has been brought to my attention that some of you haven’t seen it. Run along and do so, now.
Finally celebrated my birthday. My mother took me out for dinner at Pescadou, which was as good as always. I ate tapenade, a good salad, rognons de veau au sauce de moutarde, and bread pudding, all washed down with a good Sonoma Zinfandel. The place is a deal too: $18 prix fixe per person sans vin.
Presents were nice. My brother’s family got me things off my wish list, so I now have a good Henckels chef’s knife and Can’s Tago Mago. This means that because of Nick’s generosity I now have two Tago Mago CD’s. Anyone want one? I’m keeping the newer one Paul got me, because it’s like newer and stuff.
Two sweaters from mom, which are nice to have, and the Red Maenad very unexpectedly left a very interesting-looking book about religion and literature on my doorstep. Hugs to Lisa!
I was in line at the bookstore tonight and I was one of two people in a line of ten who were actually buying books. God? It’s time for the Fire.
He’s gonna be so cute in a bow-tie, holding a bean pie.
But I agree with all of this.

It stretched my head, anyway!
Look, it’s just what we’re all doing here, it’s a business, it’s a thing. We have this line on a new brand and we’re giving 60 pounds each to all the firehouses. I cannot! I cannot! This is impossible. The elevator opens up right into the space. Yeah, it’s a noodle place and it expanded into the whole building. The landlord bought her a cat.
Look I know the difference, that isn’t celebration it’s self medication. If you’d look at the label you’d see what I mean. Back up and listen to what you’re saying. I’ve achieved some horrible trifecta. That guy you could see it in his eyes, he was just mean as hell.
So I guess you’re an expert on my life, is that it? Does trading oxy for beer mean anything to you? Do you read the fiction? The guy is an idea factory, but how does he keep going?
Sure, that’s my background but I’m not into that ethnic thing. I decided I wanted them back and I have to live with what I did before.
My situation is impossible and I’m not at all okay. What did you expect me to say? It was the best $500 we ever spent.
My hiptop/sidekick is dying and they are mailing me a new one. Therefore cellphone access to me may be spotty for the next week or so, as well as the rapidity of my responses to AIM or email.
carry on
I haven’t been feeling very good lately, and I’ve flaked on some things.
Joe & Co.: sorry about the mix cd. Will get it done when I can.
thiscantbesoy: didn’t find a way to get that gift certificate. I suck. sorry.
Ferdinand: I haven’t been to any of your shows in about a year even though I really like your music. Oops. Sorry.
Everyone I was supposed to be involved with in some fun web project: sorry.
I guess that about covers it.
I am told that there is a “new style” of “slam dancing”. I am further told that this resembles fake kung fu in place, the kind of thing you see street crazies doing, like shadow boxing.
1. Is this true?
2. If this is true, can someone please show me a picture of it happening?
3. Please direct me to the next place it is likely to happen, so that I can be there with a Supr-Soaker full of cat pee.
Yours truly,
An old punk
Can I start over, please? This has all been a dreadful mistake.
